Chapter 137: The Nephew Who Was Murdered
Not only has the attitude of the villagers towards the Mai Wang family changed, but even the Mai Liu family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have also restrained a lot. Wu's face was full of smirks, and he took the initiative to greet Shan Cuihua and Mai Xiaohuan at the gate.
With the money from Mai Wang's relief, now the living standards of Mai Xing's family and Mai's whole family have skyrocketed, and Mai Xiaoling, who has reached the age of marriage, often puts on the style of a rich lady in the village, and the rich man is no longer the goal she pursues, and marrying into Qingcheng County is the ideal of the family.
Some villagers ridiculed the Wu family for their mother and daughter's high spirits, but the Wu family retorted confidently: "Our Mai family is doing such a big business now, and we can't count the amount of money we earn. Even if our Xiaoling and Xiaohuan are not sisters, they are the closest relatives! Wait for our Xiaoling and Xiaohui to get married, silver! Wear it! Can that be less? ”
Has this person forgotten how to treat Xiao Huan? Why did people prepare a dowry for her daughter, everyone privately laughed at them for wanting to marry a rich man and going crazy. Mai Xiaoling looked her cousin from head to toe and from foot to head, turned around and pouted in disgust. If you have so much silver from your second uncle's family, you must buy a few golden hairpins and jade bracelets, and two pearls on your shoes, that's what a rich man should be dressed up for!
It's definitely not a muslin skirt like my cousin, there are no flowers on it, two thin hairbands on my head, I don't look like a valuable product, and I can still see a pair of earrings on my body, this dress is not as good as myself!
It's really a country girl who can't dress up if she has money, and her mother also lets herself be close to her, a rustic person, so I don't want to be close to her!
Putting the snacks he was carrying on the table, Mai Xiaohuan asked: Milk, my father asked me to come over and ask, do you have any comments on the arrangements for your birthday. ”
The chef was invited from Fuyun Building, and the troupe was already on the way, which was the most famous in Qingcheng County, and there were also a lot of new clothes and jewelry. Mai Xiaohuan wanted to hear what her grandmother else wanted, she didn't want to worry about the things in the past, and besides, all this she did was just to make her father feel better.
Of course, there are requirements, such as the banquet must be of some grade, and it is best to let neighbors and relatives talk and envy for a long time after eating. I also want my children and grandchildren to kowtow to me in front of the whole village to celebrate his birthday...... Her lips squirmed for a long time, and Mai Liu was embarrassed to mention it, especially the second condition, she felt that her granddaughter, who was already famous, would not agree, she wanted to make her neighbors envious, and she might not be willing to kowtow to herself in public.
Now it's different from the past, my grandmother can no longer put on the shelf of her elders in front of her granddaughter, and the days when she wants to beat people without explanation are gone. She believed that if she dared to embarrass her granddaughter again, the village chief would definitely exercise her power and drive her out of the village.
It's okay to have no opinion, Mai Xiaohuan pretended not to see her grandmother's expression of wanting to talk, got up and walked out, because she really had nothing to talk about with her grandmother.
In a blink of an eye, on the fourth day of the seventh lunar month, a stage has been set up outside the gate of Mai Xing's house, and the famous actors in costumes are singing happily, like Peking Opera and Qin dialect, women and children listen to it with taste, pointing around the stage.
On the other side, a large shed was erected, and the cook and the neighbors who came to help cut meat, pick vegetables, and oil it...... Busy in full swing. Mai Xiaofang and Mai Xiaohuan came over in dirt-resistant clothes to help them, but they were pushed out of the shed by the enthusiastic neighbors, where can they be used to reach out!
"The old man and the young master of the Tang family are here." Mai Yonghai found his sister and asked them to go back to meet the guests, second sister, your future father-in-law has arrived, why don't you hurry up and go home to behave. Mai Xiaofang unceremoniously punched her sister and warned her with her eyes to be honest and be careful that she would retaliate in the future.
If you want to scare yourself, Mai Xiaohuan doesn't eat this set, if the person who is going to marry in the future can't even cope with the second sister and Tang Yujun, what kind of trouble will she have with him. Mai Xiaohuan also thought about her future, but she didn't know what kind of person to live with.
Yes, you heard it right, it's the kind that has been together for two years, and after dealing with my father and the government, I got separated. A man who has no interest will definitely not look down on himself, he is too capable and easy to recruit a junior, he might as well think about how to make money if he has that energy! Don't fight all day long for a man, to keep your position!
When the sisters went home, Mai Wang and Tang Xianyou were sitting at the stone table in the courtyard talking, although Tang Yujun was sitting there, his mind had already run outside. I heard footsteps bounce off the stool.
The two of them lost their previous cheerfulness, Mai Xiaofang said hello to Tang Xianyou with some twists, called Dad, and lowered her head and pulled up the corner of her clothes. Tang Yujun was not much better, the roots of his ears were red, and he had to pretend to be calm, but the eyes that moved with Mai Xiaofang had already betrayed him.
If it weren't for Tang Xianyou sitting here, Mai Xiaohuan would have joked a long time ago, and the Tang family would have brought dim sum chefs and raw materials to prepare delicious dim sum for tomorrow's banquet site. Mai Xiaohuan also remembered that she used to work for the banquet in the county guard's mansion, but in the face of different people, her mood would be very different, and she really didn't have the desire to do it herself.
In the afternoon, Qu Hao, Huo Dong, the shopkeeper and the proprietor of Fuyun Building all arrived, and Mai Wan secretly rejoiced that two more rooms were built when the house was repaired this spring, otherwise there would really be no place to entertain distinguished guests. Huo Dong and the people of Fuyunlou left after eating, they said that they lived close, so they would not stay, and they would come back tomorrow.
Mai Xiaofang took her younger sister to Yuni's house to spend the night, because the eldest brother and sister-in-law also came back, and the family couldn't live there, so the sisters had to make room for them.
Tang Yujun, the flower messenger, sent the two of them to Yu Ni's house, which was not a few steps away, and wanted to say a few words to Mai Xiaofang, but the sister-in-law who didn't have long eyes had been sabotaging beside her.
"Hey! Don't go too far, be careful that I will let you and ...... in the future Whoever doubles that will beg me won't be able to do it when the time comes, you know? "Hurry up and go away, don't be an eyesore here, it's pitiful for people who don't have a sweetheart and can't experience this wonderful taste.
Mai Xiaohuan was not frightened, she urged Tang Yujun to leave quickly, and go back now to find a way, in case someone of his own appeared tomorrow, he would be caught off guard.
"Do you know how to write the word shy, who is the one who returned you, where is it!" Tang Yujun's good wish to take a walk under the moon was shattered by Mai Xiaohuan, of course he refused to leave like this, and didn't let Mai Xiaohuan eat a deflated meal, how could he be willing!
"I said that I would come tomorrow, what are you anxious about, I've seen people grabbing food and drink, and I've never seen you rushing to be abused like this, everyone dispersed, and they all went back to sleep." If you dare to fight with yourself, I won't let you talk to the second sister alone tonight, what's the matter!
This Tang Yujun, who doesn't have a long brain, is so lively in the village today, people come and go, he doesn't care about being seen by others, the second sister still cares! The two have not yet decided to marry, and they must not let him come nonsense.
Because there was something to do tomorrow, the sisters did not sleep well, and when they could see clearly outside, they put on their clothes and went to the ground. I haven't touched the stove for a long time, so Mai Xiaohuan circled around it and looked for a feeling.
Cook a pot of broken rice and green vegetable porridge, brand a pot full of pancakes, blanched mountain vegetables mixed with cold vegetables, 20 braised eggs, scrambled eggs, and refreshing pickles just pickled two days ago.
"Wouldn't it be a little easier?" Mai Xiaofang was very satisfied with this breakfast, but she was afraid that Tang Xianyou and Qu Hao would not be used to it.
Now I know that I think about the problem from the perspective of the Tang family, and this elbow is too fast! Facing her sister's playful gaze, Mai Xiaofang didn't dare to give her opinion anymore, her sister was getting worse and worse, Yue Gongzi was really prescient back then, and gave her the name "Little Bad" early.
To Mai Xiaofang's surprise, Tang Xianyou and Qu Hao liked this kind of breakfast very much, they ate some of everything, and after they were full, they went for a walk near Mai's house together.
"Ming Yang went to play with his aunt, and his mother helped his grandmother clean up the table." Chen Qiuniang handed her chubby son to Mai Xiaohuan, and turned around to help her mother-in-law clean up the dishes and chopsticks.
The little fat man is not light! hugged him and checked it, Mai Xiaohuan put him on the ground, his nephew is one year old, and now it's time to learn to walk, it's better to help him than to hold him.
The little guy obviously has some recognition, and he looks very cute when he pouts his mouth to cry or not, probably because blood is thicker than water, and he got acquainted with Mai Xiaohuan after a while, and opened his mouth with eight teeth and drooling to babble and communicate with his aunt.
"I'm going to have fun, too." Seeing that her sister and nephew were having a good time, Mai Xiaofang rubbed her hands and came over, this kid's face was so tender, there was so much meat on his buttocks, and his chin was actually double-layered. After rubbing it down, Mai Mingyang was made to cry.
Mai Yonghe felt sorry for his son and wanted to go over and take him away, Chen Qiuniang shook his head at him, the sister-in-law teased him because she liked children, and today is a rare opportunity to let her son gain the favor of the two aunts, only when they have a son in their hearts, their own family can get more benefits.
Hearing her grandson's cry, Shan Cuihua ran over in a few steps, and the bright red marks on the child's face looked like she had been "poisoned", and the little girl was steady, she definitely didn't do it. Okay, you Mai Xiaofang dare to bully my grandson, Shan Cuihua found her "weapon" and began to chase her daughter all over the yard again.
When the people who came back from the walk saw this situation, their reactions were different, Tang Yujun and Qu Hao seemed to have returned to the time when they had just met the Mai family, and they were impressed by Shan Cuihua's mighty image and Mai Xiaofang's dexterity. Tang Xianyou is not as calm as his son, why is this mother and daughter still fighting!
Figuring out the reason, Tang Xianyou looked at his son with sympathetic eyes, what if your family has a child in the future, can such a child-minded mother take care of the child?
Isn't there still you and your mother? We are responsible for the birth, and you two are responsible for raising it! Tang Xianyou really wanted to borrow the stick in her hand with her mother to use it and beat her son, who was out of tune.
